They're the same thing after all.
Example:
$ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped
[0/1 built, 49/98 copied, 16.3/92.8 MiB DL, 55.8/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0pl9li1jigcj2dany47hpmn0r3r48wc4nz48v5mqhh426lgz3bz6.nar.xz'
|
|
E.g.
$ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped
[0/1 built, 1/97/98 fetched, 65.8/92.8 MiB DL, 203.2/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/1czm9fk0svacy4h6a3fzkpafi4f7a9gml36kk8cq1igaghbspg3k.nar.xz'
|
|
It now shows the amount of data copied:
[8/1038 copied, 160.4/1590.9 MiB copied] copying path '...'

The package list is now cached in
~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to
"nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD):
First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache)
$ time nix search blender
Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
Package name: blender
Version: 2.78c
Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System
real 0m6.516s
Second run: (package search cache populated)
$ time nix search blender
Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
Package name: blender
Version: 2.78c
Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System
real 0m0.143s

This adds about 0.1s to nix-shell runtime in the case where
bashInteractive already exists.
See discussion at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493.

$NIX_PATH may contain elements that don't evaluate to an attrset (like
"nixos-config"), so ignore those.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E.g.
$ nix path-info --json --store https://cache.nixos.org nixpkgs.thunderbird -S
...
"downloadHash": "sha256:1jlixpzi225wwa0f4xdrwrqgi47ip1qpj9p06fyxxg07sfmyi4q0",
"downloadSize": 43047620,
"closureDownloadSize": 84745960
}
]
|
|
This doesn't work in read-only mode, ensuring that operations like
nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org -S nixpkgs.hello
(asking for the closure size of nixpkgs.hello in cache.nixos.org) work
when nixpkgs.hello doesn't exist in the local store.
|
|
Now you get
[
{
"path": "/nix/store/fzvliz4j5xzvnd0w5zgw2l0ksqh578yk-bla",
"valid": false
}
]
|
|
On second though this was annoying. E.g. "nix log nixpkgs.hello" would
build/download Hello first, even though the log can be fetched
directly from the binary cache.
May need to revisit this.

Fixes #1464.

|
|
Also simplify the Hash API.
Fixes #1437.

Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name>
<value>’. So
--option http-connections 100
becomes
--http-connections 100
Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a
non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are
fatal.
Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the
argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g.
--option auto-optimise-store false
becomes
--no-auto-optimise-store

Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356), is a lot
smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.

|
This is a little convenience command that opens the Nix expression of
the specified package. For example,
nix edit nixpkgs.perlPackages.Moose
opens <nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix> in $EDITOR (at the
right line number for some editors).
This requires the package to have a meta.position attribute.
|
|
This is primarily useful for extracting NARs from other stores (like
binary caches), which "nix-store --dump" cannot do.
|
|
Similar to "jq -r", this prints the evaluation result (which must be a
string value) unquoted.
|
|
When "--all" is used, we should not fill in a default installable.

So for instance "nix copy --to ... nixpkgs.hello" will build
nixpkgs.hello first. It's debatable whether this is a good idea. It
seems desirable for commands like "nix copy" but maybe not for
commands like "nix path-info".
|
|
Thus
$ nix build -f foo.nix
will build foo.nix.
And
$ nix build
will build default.nix. However, this may not be a good idea because
it's kind of inconsistent, given that "nix build foo" will build the
"foo" attribute from the default installation source (i.e. the
synthesis of $NIX_PATH), rather than ./default.nix. So I may revert
this.
|
|
So "nix path-info ./result" now works.
|
|
This allows commands like 'nix path-info', 'nix copy', 'nix verify'
etc. to work on arbitrary installables. E.g. to copy geeqie to a
binary cache:
$ nix copy -r --to file:///tmp/binary-cache nixpkgs.geeqie
Or to get the closure size of thunderbird:
$ nix path-info -S nixpkgs.thunderbird
|
|
|
|
This replaces "nix-instantiate --eval". The result is evaluated
strictly since this seems more useful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In particular, show descriptions. This could be used for manpage
generation etc.
|
|
This dumps the entire Nix configuration, including all options that
have default values.
|
|
This makes all config options self-documenting.
Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a
warning.
|
|
Without this (minor) change, the options set using "--option"
or read from nix.conf were parsed but not used.
